       Hi Jeanne,

As you may be aware, chat has come and gone a number of times, mostly due 
to scheduling problems. Presently, it is in the experimental stages.

I believe there is a place for impromptu chat as well as regularly 
scheduled chat. I will work with Rick if he is interested in short notice 
chat. Actually, I have 3 rooms at my disposal which can operate 
independently of each other. 

Perhaps the Western USA should have its own room. Perhaps women should. I 
don't really know where the interest is at this point.

Some moderation is necessary, imo. I would like to hear privately from 
anyone who is capable of moderating and regularly opening and closing the 
chat room - particularly on Sunday nights as that is when most people are 
off from work.

Over the years, it has been quite irritating to see people volunteer for 
this or that and then to slowly disappear after a few weeks or months. 
And, of course, if you ask what happened to them... they get their 
feelings hurt. So, unless you are totally committed to the value of such 
a project on a long term basis, please do not apply. Thank you.

       David Anderson
